Building blocks of traits 2 How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Dependent variable??? 3 Proteins with different shapes/structures AND functions 4 Functional Traits 5 Fewer of the same traits like number of arms, legs organs, etc. 6 Proteins that are structurally smaller 7 Trait 8 Proteins that are structurally bigger 9 The structure of the gene: size and base pairs it is made out of. 10 Behavioral traits 11 Structure (shape) of the 2 or more proteins that the trait is made of 12 How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Independent variable??? 13 Structural Traits 14 Many of the same traits like number of arms, legs, organs, etc. 15 Proteins with the same shape/structure AND function 16 How is the size of a gene effected by the amount of base pairs it contains? Controlled variable??? Traits that have to do with the shape or look of the parts that an organism is made out of (organ shapes, sizes, eye color, number of limbs, shape of limbs, etc) Traits that have to do with how an organism or species acts/what the organism does (sounds, actions, tendencies, etc) Organisms from different species share... Number of base pairs Genes made of fewer base pairs will make... Traits that have to do with how the different parts within the organism work to keep the organism alive (breathing, cellular respiration, photosynthesis, circulatory system, etc) Protein Genes made of more base pairs will make... Genes made of the same bases will make this... This determines the structure (shape) of the protein Created when 2 or more different structured (shaped) proteins fit together. Used to distinguish species from one another & organisms from within the same species. Type of organism Genes made of different bases will make this... This determines the function/type of trait (hair color, eye color, heart rate, etc) that is created. Organisms of the same species share... Size of a gene
